Solution

The correct option is A Drupe
A fruit consists of a wall or pericarp and seeds. The pericarp is differentiated into epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp.
In coconut, the fruit is developed from monocarpellary superior ovaries and is single seeded and the mesocarp is fibrous. This type of fruit is known as a drupe.
